< Hosea 2 >
1 Hicheni teng chuleh, nasopipa chu Ami- ‘Kamite’ chule nasopinu chu-Rahamah- ‘Kangailut khat’ nati ding ahi.
“Say to your brothers, ‘My people!’ and to your sisters, ‘My loved one!’
2 Nahingnu chu dondauvin, Dondauvin hitobang numei hi kaji ahipoi, keijong amadin aji kahipoi, ajon maiput hi kheldohhen, anoiteni kaha ajon na thangnam jong chu sutheng hen.
Contend with your mother! Contend, for she is not my wife, neither am I her husband; and let her put away her prostitution from her face, and her adulteries from between her breasts;
3 Achuti louva ahile keiman avon jouse kahodoh’a akeoseh’a kaum sah ding ahi.
lest I strip her naked, and make her bare as in the day that she was born, and make her like a wilderness, and set her like a dry land, and kill her with thirst.
4 Achate jouse jong kangailut louhel ding ahi, ajeh chu ahung kigil’uva kon’a notia hung kigil ahitauve
Indeed, on her children I will have no mercy, for they are children of unfaithfulness.
5 Ahingnu-u jong jachatna neilouva notia kijoh ahin, anaovop’a jong chu jumle ja helouva chon ahi.
For their mother has played the prostitute. She who conceived them has done shamefully; for she said, ‘I will go after my lovers, who give me my bread and my water, my wool and my flax, my oil and my drink.’
6 Amanun aseijin, eingailu midang ho koma lhaitange, kanehding an, kadonding twi eipeho chule kasilding samul le tupat ponnem eipeho koma chetange ati.
Therefore behold, I will hedge up your way with thorns, and I will build a wall against her, that she can’t find her way.
7 Angailu ho kom’a lhai jongle, anungu aphah jou lou ding ahitai, amaho chu holle le jongle mujong amujou lou ding ahitai. Chule amanun jong asei ding, tun chengting kaji masapa henga kilekit tange, ajeh chu tulai kaumchan sangin chulaija kaumchan anomjoi.
She will follow after her lovers, but she won’t overtake them; and she will seek them, but won’t find them. Then she will say, ‘I will go and return to my first husband, for then it was better with me than now.’
8 Hiche numeinu hin kana thilpeh ho anei jouse, sana, dangka, lengpiwi thah, olive thao, kathilpeh ho jouse Baal doi apegam tan ahi.
For she didn’t know that I gave her the grain, the new wine, and the oil, and multiplied to her silver and gold, which they used for Baal.
9 Ahinlah kachang jong a atphat le kakilelah kit ding, lengpi twi thah jouse jong, kakilelah ding ahi. Asagoh keu hupna dinga kanapeh samul ponsil le tupat ponnem jong kanung lah kit ding ahi.
Therefore I will take back my grain in its time, and my new wine in its season, and will pluck away my wool and my flax which should have covered her nakedness.
10 Tua hi akideipi ho mitmu changtaha, ajamo kahodohpeh ding ahi, ahin kakhut’a kona koiman amanu hi eichulhah jou lou ding ahi.
Now I will uncover her lewdness in the sight of her lovers, and no one will deliver her out of my hand.
11 Agolnop kut hihenlang, a lhathah kut hihenlang, akumlhun kut hijongleh kasuhbei ding ahi.
I will also cause all her celebrations to cease: her feasts, her new moons, her Sabbaths, and all her solemn assemblies.
12 Alengpi gui jouse kavohsetna, chule atheichang phung jouse jong kavoh heo ding ahi.
I will lay waste her vines and her fig trees, about which she has said, ‘These are my wages that my lovers have given me,’ and I will make them a forest, and the animals of the field shall eat them.
13 Baal doi masanga gimnamtwi ahalna ho kasuhset peh’a chule a sana jempah chengsea akivonna, adongma akideipi hotoh kei suhmilna dinga akijepna jeh'a talen kapeh ding ahi, tin Pakaiyin aseiye.
I will visit on her the days of the Baals, to which she burned incense when she decked herself with her earrings and her jewels, and went after her lovers and forgot me,” says the LORD.
14 Ahin keiman hichenu hi kanung jollhah kitna, gamthip noiya kapui mang ding, chule awnem heuva kaki houlimpi ding ahi.
“Therefore behold, I will allure her, and bring her into the wilderness, and speak tenderly to her.
15 Alengpi leiya kahin lepui kitna, Achor phaicham jong kinepna kotpi phung kasosah ding, hikoma chu amanun jong anungah lai banga adonbutna, Egypt gam'a ahung potdoh til banga eidonbut ding ahi.
I will give her vineyards from there, and the valley of Achor for a door of hope; and she will respond there as in the days of her youth, and as in the day when she came up out of the land of Egypt.
16 Hiche nikho chu ahunglhun nile Pakaiyin aseiye, Ka Pakai tilouva “Kajipa tia neikou ding ahi”.
It will be in that day,” says the LORD, “that you will call me ‘my husband,’ and no longer call me ‘my master.’
17 O Israel, namuha kona Baal min tamtah kasuh manga chule naminphah kittahlou ding ahi chule
For I will take away the names of the Baals out of her mouth, and they will no longer be mentioned by name.
18 Hiche nikho chule gam'a gamsa jouse le chunga leng vacha jouse toh kitepna khat kasema, thalpi kasuh beija chemjam kalensah lou ding, chuteng nakichat tahlou dingu, cham le lungmonga naimut dingu ahi.
In that day I will make a covenant for them with the animals of the field, and with the birds of the sky, and with the creeping things of the ground. I will break the bow, the sword, and the battle out of the land, and will make them lie down safely.
19 Keiman atonsot’a kajinua kasem ding nahitai, chutengle Chondihna le thutah kavetsah ding nahi.
I will betroth you to me forever. Yes, I will betroth you to me in righteousness, in justice, in loving kindness, and in compassion.
20 Hitia chu ken kitahna neitah-a jia kanei ding nahin, nangin jong Pakai chu nahetdoh ding ahiye.
I will even betroth you to me in faithfulness; and you shall know the LORD.
21 Hicheni chule, keiman nadonbut inge, Tin Pakaiyin aseiye. “Hiche nikho tengleh keiman van mun ho jouse kahouva thu kasei ding, amahon jong, van mun jousen jong leiset jaha gojuh puma thu asei diu ahi.
It will happen in that day, that I will respond,” says the LORD. “I will respond to the heavens, and they will respond to the earth;
22 Chuteng leiset in jong awgin puma penga asapma adonbutna, chang, lengpitwi, chule olive thaovin jong adonbut ding, Jezeel jaha thu aseidiu ahi.
and the earth will respond to the grain, and the new wine, and the oil; and they will respond to Jezreel.
23 Hiche phatteng chule keiman Israel dinga muchi katu ding, keima dinga kakhansah ding. Keiman ‘kangailupoi’ katiho koma ngailutna kavetsah ding, chule kami nahitapouve tia kaseiho koma ‘tun nangho kamite nahitauve’ tia kasei ding ahi. Chule amahon eidonbutnuva, ‘Nangma ka Pathen-u nahi’ eitidiu ahi.
I will sow her to me in the earth; and I will have mercy on her who had not obtained mercy; and I will tell those who were not my people, ‘You are my people;’ and they will say, ‘You are My God!’”
